    With respect . Do you believe we should all have the opportunity to go in the Directors box or exec boxes. ?.

    Yes, it would have been a nice gesture, all in it together

    But as above; for the exec boxes they’ve far less chance of success in the ballot.

    There are all kinds of reasons people choose those seats (it’s not just about money) I have a mate who chose to watch from behind the glass due to health problems, his choice and it means he’s less chance of getting a ticket.

    if it’s unfair at all, it’s unfair to them, so why is it everyone else whinging.

    Why have they less chance in the ballot , they might have less chance of sitting in their chosen season ticket stand but have the same chance as everyone else of getting a ticket somewhere

    Eh? They don’t get a ticket elsewhere in Oakwell if they’re unsuccessful being one of the 18 picks from the 64

    What’s your issue with them being in a ballot that gives them less chance than me and you to get a ticket?

    I feel like this is just a repeat of the thread with S.M last night …..

    If all 64 have applied and 18 get chosen are you saying the other 46 don’t get a chance to sit anywhere else , if that’s really the case it’s unfair to them

    I've no idea how much Club 64 tickets cost, but I'm guessing they are substantially more than outside. There won't be many fans who would be happy if they got one of those in the ballot and had to pay extra. So why are people getting peeved over it?

    I think there’s a view from some that they have had some kind of priority. Which they haven’t.

    I’ve seen a few in the exec areas that had their confirmation yesterday. People see that as ‘priority’ despite that not actually being the case.

    Combined with the fact that many that sit outside probably wouldn’t be happy in an executive area with (and I haven’t been for a good few years so rules could have changed) dress code, no standing up, no shouting, being behind glass etc.

    It’s a different experience for different people imo

    I would rather take a 1 in 2 chance today, than a 1 in 4 chance yesterday

    Aye, people are impatient though. And any excuse to feel targeted and play the victim and people will jump on it immediately.

    It’s been all over Twitter today.

    No they don’t. They’re in the ballot for their section not the whole ground
